Aiden, Gideon, Oliver, Jaxon – The Club Kings Are brothers but not by blood. They grew up together and decided they wanted to be brothers. One night in one of their clubs Jaxon and Oliver spot Brooklyn dancing and immediately go to the dance floor she is on and dance with her. Things get pretty heated quickly and she flees. Brooklyn has a past that she can never forget. An ex boyfriend really did a number on her and she still has scars…inside and out to remind her of it. The club kings show up at Brooklyns job for a meeting about a donation and everyone was surprised to see eachother. Jaxon and Oliver were happier than anyone because now they know who that woman was and how to find her. Brooklyn has no idea who they were and now that she does, she agrees to a dinner with Oliver and Jaxon to talk about the charity event. Aiden “the brains” behind the kings doesn’t trust her and has second thoughts about their donation. When Brooklyns past comes crashing into her present, the kings vow to keep her safe all while keeping her bed warm. I thought this book was well written but it was kinda long and wasn’t expecting the book to end the way it did. If I knew it was a cliffhanger, I probably wouldn’t have read it.

Brooklyn has a painful past that has left her scarred both mentally and physically. The trauma from her past has kept her from pursuing romance or relationships. She chooses instead to focus on work and on her days off remains close to home. When her roommate Ash asks her to go to an exclusive club with her for a night out Brooklyn is reluctant. However, Ash is insistent because it is her last night in town before heading out of the country for several months for training for her job.
Club 4 is an exclusive club that caters to the elite class, but Ash has been given VIP passes through her work. Brooklyn and Ash make the most of their evening out and Brooklyn finds that she is enjoying herself. While dancing Brooklyn is approached by two very good looking men who she instantly feels attracted to. She allows herself to temporarily get caught up in the moment until panic sets in and she bolts from the club.
To Brooklyn’s total and complete surprise she has not been able to escape that night in Club 4 or the men she ran from. She finds that these two men, Oliver, and Jaxon, along with their two brothers Gideon and Aiden, are some of the faces behind a substantial donation to the charity organization that she works for. Naturally, she is shocked and embarrassed by her behavior at the club while also feeling an intense attraction to the men standing in her office. Allowing herself to let her guard down she accepts a dinner invitation from Oliver and Jaxon. From that point on Brooklyn finds herself falling quickly for both of these men.
When someone from Brooklyn’s past shows up in her life things escalate quickly and she finds her life in danger. Not only do Oliver and Jaxon immediately come to her rescue, against Brooklyn’s wishes, but so does their brother Gideon. When he offers up his services as her personal security she finds herself attracted to him as well. Brooklyn cannot explain the attraction to these men but none seem to be jealous or insecure about her being with the other brothers.
This was an intense and steamy read. The sexual attraction between Brooklyn and the Knight brothers will leave you breathless. Most women would be envious of that type of desire with one man, let alone four of them. This was definitely not your typical love story. Oliver, Jaxon, Gideon, and Aiden were all smitten with Brooklyn and were willing to do anything for her. For them it was more than lust, they clearly cared for Brooklyn and wanted to look after her. When her ex pops up in her life all four brothers jump in to keep her safe. This book had romance, love, lust, passion, violence, danger, and intrigue. It took some twists and turns and ended on a cliff-hanger that is going to drive me crazy until I can read the next book and get some answers. I highly recommend!

I loved this book! Taming Brooklyn gave the reader so much. Happiness, sadness, pain, suffering, love, friendship, and the beginnings of a polyamorous relationship that looks like it might be spanning a few books. And you know what? I can’t wait! The way the author wrote the main characters, it pulls one in. You get invested, and you can’t help but root for them. There’s some very dark themes throughout, but there’s so much light as well. Brooklyn is broken, in every sense of the word. Mentally, emotionally, and physically, which has made her into a recluse. But one night out to bid her best friend adieu, changed all that. Jaxon and Oliver went for it and even though she ran, they knew she was something special. Unfortunately convincing Aiden and Gideon of that would be another topic. What they didn’t expect is she would be the very woman who was running a branch of the nonprofit they wanted to get involved in. What do the Knight brothers want with Brooklyn? Will her checkered past come back to haunt her? Could it ruin them? So many questions and this book only answered so many, but it’s okay because it was left open for book two! The emotional trauma these characters go through doesn’t seem real, but they are all very real scenarios that people can very well relate too. The way the author presents these past stories may put people on edge, but it gives so much to the book that has been written. The Knight brothers found each other and helped heal each other from their emotional childhood traumas, declaring themselves brothers and changing their names in the process. Will they be able to do that very thing for Brooklyn as they navigate the feelings they share for her? Will she let them? I want to keep writing but I know if I do, I’ll start posting spoilers to this book. So at this point all I’ll say is read it. Develop your own feelings and connections to these characters, just like I did.

Welcome to Sports Romance at its finest. This is book 2 but it can be read as a standalone. This is Chavez and Flynn’s story. Chavez is hot tempered and uncontrollable. His tennis skills could take him far. Flynn is a motivational speaker and coach. She is the exact opposite and seems to level Chavez out. When these two unlikely souls get together, there is as much action on the court as off the court. But both of them have their own secrets to get past. Will these two come together or will this pull them apart? This story took me by surprise. The author writes an amazing story leaving nothing out. The story is fast paced as well as well written. You can’t help falling in love with the characters. Even though it looks like they have nothing in common, they find out just where they lead each other. This turned out to be an exciting story to read. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

What a well written and attention grabbing book this is. As soon as I started reading it I couldn’t out it down. I loved reading about all of the characters and the strong connection they all shared. It really pulled me in to the story. I loved the fact that is was told from.multiple points of view. Every book like this should follow suit because it works so well. I thought the overall story was good although this book really was all about the characters for me. A great book.and I can’t wait for more.

This is the first book in The Club King Series. It is a steamy romance told from multiply points of view which really brings the story to life for me and makes every character come alive. Getting the story from several points of view really gives you a deeper understanding of the character and the story and gives the characters a depth that sometimes is missing. There are some dark aspects of this story which maybe a trigger for some people such as domestic abuse, sexual assault and child neglect. Brooklyn has had a traumatic past which has left her with scars both physically and mentally. Since then she is trying to rebuild her life but she feels she carries to much baggage to move forward. One a rare night out with her friend she meets 2 men who will change her life forever. Jaxon and Oliver are owners in Club 4. Never have they felt attraction to a woman as much as they have towards Brooklyn and so they set out to get her. However things aren’t that simple. The walls Brooklyn has around herself are so high that no one can get over them. However the brothers are determined to try. And when a past danger returns to Brooklyn’s life the Brothers promise to protect her from all danger. But how can you protect someone when they won’t allow you to protect them? This story is a romance which has loads of obstacles to overcome and things get more complicated as more of the brothers become aware of Brooklyn and also become attracted to her. Is this Brooklyns chance to finally get her happy ever after with maybe more that 1 man or will her past and the danger lurking in the dark finally be too much for her to overcome.

I absolutely loved this story! It was so refreshing to read a rockstar romance where the rock star is female – that it what made it such a fantastic read! I loved the characters Lily and Rhys! Lily had just about the right amount of sassiness to make her likeable and not a big headed rockstar – yes she used to getting what she wants but I think we definitely see a different side to her character as the story develops. Rhys has been hurt in the past and his idea of a new relationship with a rockstar was not on his agenda. I really enjoyed seeing these two develop as characters and also to see their relationship develop also. I really like this author and her writing style! I would definitely recommend this book and I am definitely looking forward to more to come from her in the future.

5 Stars Braving Lily (True Platinum Series Book 7) by Morgana Bevan
Braving Lily us a wonderfully written Rockstar Romance and is part of the True Platinum Series which can be read as a standalone as each book in the series focuses on a different couple. While this author is fairly new to me the other books I’ve read have been wonderful this one is definitely my favorite yet. I have a soft spot for opposites attract and Rockstars. The storyline flowed so well that I felt everything the characters were going through. The characters are fun relatable and fully developed. There is definitely chemistry between the main characters and hesitation at first. Can a Rock Star and IT have a relationship? Can he open his heart again? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I literally read this in one sitting because I had to know what was going to happen next. I definitely look forward to reading more from this Author.

Braving Lily was a great rock star romance. Lily is a famous rock star who auctioned off a date for charity. When she went to meet the date, she was stood up. For some reason, she cannot get over the fact that she was stood up and decided to confront the man. The man is Rhys, a divorced man who isn’t ready to date but is constantly being set up by his mother. After they do meet for the first time, both of them are intrigued with each other and decide to try a real date. While the two didn’t start on a great footing, they quickly start to really enjoy each other’s company. Lily is giving him feelings he hasn’t felt in quite some time, he finds himself trusting her very easily. He provides a private life and a non-caring about her fame mentality that makes her quickly fall for him. However, the problem both face is she is leaving for a year long tour so they try to keep it casual, but that is hard to do when feelings get involved. Can they both get over their past and present livelihoods to let this love story bloom? I liked this story a lot. I liked how it started with a girl going after what she “wants”, but the guy not wanting her just because she is famous. They advance quickly in their dynamics and I love how there was no bull in the story. The author kept it straightforward, always moving, with one issue, and a solution. I feel that while they experienced miscommunication, she kept that part short and sweet so I didn’t get pissed at the characters. I thought the characters were great. Lily was a strong, but vulnerable girl who goes after what she wants and doesn’t apologize for it. However, she is also caring and honest about her life. Rhys was also a strong, caring, honest character. He was upfront about his expectations, and while he had insecurities, his confidence was sexier. I will also mention that the sex scenes were just spicy enough for a nice romance-type story.

I love rockstar romances! They’re one of my favorites! I instantly knew I was going to love this book and I’m SO glad I read it. Also it’s my first rockstar romance I’ve read where the rockstar is female. I LOVED IT!!!!! Amazing characters and I just all around loved the story. Can be read as a standalone so I’ve only read this book in the series. I’ll definitely be checking out the others! If you want a book with angst, second chances, opposites attract type of romance book, this is for you!

This is the fifth book in the True Platinum series. It definitely functions as a standalone. I have read a few others of the series but not all, they feature some of the same characters but each book has a focus on a different character. Lily is a rockstar and Rhys is an IT guy. And they are about as opposite as they can get. Rhys has been divorced and his wife cheated on him. This makes him completely disinterested in anyone who plays games. This includes Lily. He finally agrees to meet with Lily and things go so well that they agree to go on a second date. What will happen once they admit all their feelings and intentions to one another. Can they look past their first observations and really get to know one another? I definitely recommend this one. It is such a well written opposites attract novel!

This is the fourth book in the True Platinum series. However, it definitely functions as a standalone as this is the first book that I have read of the series and I wasn’t lost at all (might I mention it definitely won’t be my last). This is the story of Ella and the grumpy drummer she has been stuck with for months. Both Jared (the grumpy Drummer) and Ella are looking forward to time away from the tour away at a friends cabin alone, meaning with absolutely no one else around, all alone. What they least expect is that the other will be at the same cabin with them. An awful situation becomes even worse when they get snowed in. The decide on a truce and try to make the best of their time together. Whatever that may mean. I love the enemies to lovers genre and this book is the epitome of it. I feel like both Jared and Ella are well written characters. They played well off of each other and had a good banter. I definitely recommend this!

Lily Tyler is the lead singer of the band Brightside. While she loves what she does, she is tired of the constant paparazzi and rumors that are often far from the truth. When she does a favor for her cousin, Lily finds herself auctioned off for a date. The only problem is the date never shows, she is a rock star and she has been stood up. Taking matters in her own hands she shows up at Rhys’s home demanding the date.
Rhys didn’t even want the date but even he cant deny she is beautiful. The coffee date goes better then he expected, Lily is down to earth and the more he gets to know the more he likes. Can these two find a happiness neither expected or will the outside world tear them apart?
I liked this, the date was fun because he has no interest what so ever. I enjoyed reading their journey together, it brought a smile to my face. Definitely will check out the other books in the series.

I was not prepared for this book. I was not prepared for the feelings, the drama, the excitement, the laughter, the pure enjoyment of reading this book. If you haven’t, you should definitely read this one.
Brooklyn has worked her way to a directorship at the nonprofit she started working for as an intern in college. She has worked hard to get where she is. Brooklyn is a survivor, the foster care system and an abusive boyfriend that nearly killed her. Both her job and her life become threatened when her ex is released from jail.
One night while out dancing with her friend, Brooklyn met Jaxon and Oliver but she didn’t know who they were. It is not like they exchanged names on the dancefloor. When Jaxon and Oliver show up in her conference room as new donors for the nonprofit Brooklyn works for, the fireworks start. Jaxon and Oliver are part of an elite group known as The Four Knights. The boys grew up together, having each other’s back in the foster care system. When they aged out of the system, they decided to make their brotherhood official, all sharing the same last name. Along with Jaxon and Oliver, there is Aiden and Gideon. This foursome brings some interesting challenges for Brooklyn.
When the threats turn more deadly, Brooklyn starts relying on the Four Knights for more than just friendship. As the feelings become real, Brooklyn is scared and runs. She only gets to hide for a short time before her ex gets brave and penetrates the sense of security Brooklyn had driving her back to the Four Knights. Aiden, Oliver, Gideon, and Jaxon have no problem vowing to protect her now and forever. But will they be able to when a traitor to Brooklyn emerges from the shadows?
This book had me on the edge from the beginning. The chemistry between Brooklyn and the guys is dripping off the page. The tension from not knowing when or where her ex will strike next is tighter than a guitar string. The raw emotion that seeps each character as they discuss their past could cause your eyes to sweat. I was not prepared for this. I was expecting a steamy romp through the NYC clubs, not an emotional driven, highly intense thriller but that is what I found. And I am sticking around for more. Bring it on! Now I am ready. Now I know. I am sure the author will throw some curveballs in the next one just to keep me guessing but I feel ready. If I didn’t say it before, this book was phenomenal.

Lily, the famous Rockstar and Rhys, the quiet IT guy completely weave their way into your heart in this fantastic read. After standing Lily up and being confronted by her about it, it doesn’t take Rhys too long to realise he completely misjudged her. Their attraction soon develops and is steamy to say the least! I was completely drawn into their story and wanting their relationship to succeed. The author not only created wonderful characters but a fun storyline to keep you hooked right from the very start. Do yourself a favour and get reading today!!

Braving Lily was a great 5 star read for me. Lily Tyler doesn’t chase me but when Rhys Jones stands her up, she refuses to let that happen. His mother won a charity auction for a date with Lily and Rhys didn’t even bother to show up!
Rhys is divorced after his wife cheated on him with his friend and he has no time for games. He sees Lily as an attention seeking person and wants no part of it. He finally agrees to have coffee with her and everything takes a turn during their coffee date. They actually set up another date. Lily is scheduled to leave on a long tour in a few weeks but maybe they can have some fun together without any labels until then. Everything goes good until, it doesn’t. Rhys carries some baggage and always feels like he’s not enough. What will happen when all their cards are laid out on the table and they are both honest with eachother about their feelings? I thought the book was well written. Loved the characters and especially loved how Lily was with Sienna and any other fan she meets.

I read Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein for a class a few years ago and now whenever I see a story inspired by or paying homage to it, I instantly want to read it.
Doctor Frank Enstein is a well known Plastic Surgeon but changes routes when an opportunity arises for him to have burn patients in his very own clinic, he accepts the challenge.
Not really a social person, he attends a gathering with some of his coworkers where he meets Barbara. She hopes that he will be able to help her with an issue she is having but changes her mind after he starts talking. He doesn’t make a good impression but later apologizes to her.
I’ve started watching a few Doctors and Plastic Surgeons on YouTube so to see a male main character in this profession was a breath of fresh air.
This story is a part of collection so it is very short but the author tells a beautiful and well written story.

King – Review by Moriah Venable
Braving Lily is the seventh book in the True Platinum series by Morgana Bevan. It is a fantastic rockstar romance with a sweet storyline, an opposites attract element, loads of chemistry, sizzle, grump vs sunshine mc’s, the nerd/boy-next-door gets the girl trope, second chances, emotion, angst, trust issues, and taking a chance on love. This instalment could be read as a standalone as each instalment in the series focuses on a different couple. But having said that, you will probably develop a taste for Ms. Bevan’s work, as I did, and will definitely want to explore all the other instalments of the series, too. A strong sassy rockstar whose love life has been news fodder has made her wary of love and skewed her view on romance and relationships. He’s been burned by love in the past and has no intention of getting too close to the flame ever again. What does a charity auction, a meddling mother, and a forced date bring to the mix? If you love contemporary romance or rockstar romances, then you will really want to read all the sexy, heart-warming details for yourself… Bring on Book #6, Daring Ceri (due to release in August). Happy Reading!

This was a great 5 star read. I enjoy the Rockstar reads and this one didn’t disappoint. Once I started I couldn’t put it down. Lily puts herself out there for an auction to help a family member. Problem is the person stood her up, who does that? Rhys wasn’t thrilled about the auction and refused to go on the date. Will Lily change his mind? Rhys and Lily were both very strong characters. These two had my emotions all over the place. All of the characters added a great element to the story. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. This can be read as a stand alone but I suggest reading from the beginning. 1-click and get started today.

4 stars Braving Lily is an Opposites Attract Rock Star Romance story and the fifth book in True Platinum series. Each book is centred on a different couple but can be read as standalones. Morgana’s characters they are easy to like and become invested in them. The chemistry between the couple is most certainly steamy. The story line is well written and easily imagined with Morgana’s narrative. Rhys is in no mood to pander to a spoilt, rich little girl. One heart break is enough to set him straight on the fairer sex. No way no how is he going down that road. Not happening no matter what. Lily is not a walkover she is sexy, strong and sassy star and is not used to being ignored. She wants to meet the man with the audacity to stand her up. She won’t take no for an answer. I enjoyed the push-pull between these characters and all the frustration, angst, tension and drama we get to see as we journey along with Rhys and Lily story. You will need to read it to find out what happens.

This was a good story of opposite worlds colliding. Lily, lead singer of Brightside auctions off a date with herself for charity. When the recipient of the date fails to appear multiple times, Lily sets off to find why she was stood up. Rhys, the blind date recipient via his mother, refuses to go because his mindset for the rich and famous don’t allow him to see beyond the surface. Upon finally meeting, the two share a chemistry that neither expected and both must be will to make concessions for the other. Lily fears Rhys will be persuaded by tabloid cover stories and Rhys begins to fear Lily is too big of a star for his dreams. This story was very sweet with a wonderful cast of characters. It takes us on a journey of how far love will let us go if we are faced with the scrutiny of the public eye and the misconceptions that tabloids present. Also, Rhys’s niece Sienna, is an absolutely adorable!

If you have read Braving Lily you will know some of the names in this story. I love a great hate to love relationship story. This one had some twist I did not expect but made me love it twice as much. What happens if your one week stand turns out to be a manwhore but this whole time you have been wrong? Could you find love and a relationship in this tension?

A story dealing with real life events or what I would think a real life pop/rock star would be like. Rhys and Lily have a honeymoon effect on you. The sappy falling in love, heated up sex moments to the insecurities causing issues. A great read.

Dr Frank Enstein has become the best in his field of Plastic Surgery so when an opportunity comes along to lead his very own trauma clinic for burns he is ready for the challenge. Although leaving the cosy world of private practice for the riggers of a hospital he is determined to make this work as this is a cause close to his heart.
Once meeting his new colleagues he is invited to go out after work, not really a very social person but is spirited along, until he meets the buxom beauty behind the bar but when she approaches him with a question he immediately ends up with the wrong conclusion embarrassing him and her.
Barbara has had the literal weight on her back, although some people see them as beauties, she sees them as uncomfortable, back breaking and down right horrendous. So when she met Frank and hope he was the answer to her prays as soon as he opened his mouth it all feel away, but when the good lucking Doctor comes back and apologies to her and gives her a name of a friend to help her with her breast reduction they start becoming more than friends.
I loved this story, this is the second book I have read in this series and this does not disappoint. At first I thought that Frank was a bit of an arse but as you get to see the interaction with Barbara through the story you get to know his story and start to warm to the character. As a buxom woman as well I instantly bonded with the character of Barbara and the issues she faced on a daily basis but her sassy, strong character was a dream to read.
The story although short was well written and follow beautifully toward the happily ever after that happened. I would recommend this book and can’t wait to read more in the series.

King – Review by Angela Shirley
Lily ends up in an auction, Rhy’s mom bids on her to be his date. He stands her up, tada,……let the adventure begin. I found this story to be funny, humorous and a bit humble. Wonderful writing to make them both human. I felt the angst and what they both felt deep in my heart. These two are meant for each other. The characters are well written. I found the story to be such that I was instantly pulled in because Rhy’s mom is a blackmailer that isn’t letting Lily off the hook and I want to know why… If you want to enjoy a great romantic suspense, check this one out.

What happens when the limelight isn’t all it was meant to be?
Lily
It’s like the entire world is rushing ahead and I just want to stop the ride, I want to get off.
I need a rest. A break. An easy half-hour with someone who doesn’t have stars in their eyes and money on their mind.
So, I sold a date in a charity auction, and when the recipient doesn’t even bother to turn up, I question whether normal men are worth the effort. Turns out the rock star variety aren’t.
But it irks me. Men don’t stand me up – nobody does. I’m Lily Tyler, goddamnit.
What I know of this man is enough to pique my interest, and I’m not going to take no for an answer now. I’m having this date, one way or another.
Rhys
A setup, with a rockstar, organised by my mother. That’s not what I’m looking for.
Some self-entitled little girl looking for a doe-eyed boy to worship her, I think not.
It’s safe to say, after my marriage crumbled before my eyes, that I’m not interested in opening myself up to any kind of heartbreak again, ever.
But when I find myself backed into a corner, when she’s asking for nothing more than a coffee, can I say no?
Will Lily manage to strong-arm her way into this date? Will Rhys get more than he bargained for if she does?
Braving Lily is a steamy rock star romance. It’s the fifth book in the True Platinum series. Can be read as a standalone
If you love strong and sassy rock stars falling for the heartbroken boy next door, then Braving Lily is for you.
Morgana Bevan is a sucker for a rock star romance, particularly if it involves a soul-destroying breakup or strangers waking up in Vegas. She’s a contemporary romance author based in Wales. When Morgana’s not writing steamy rock star and movie star romances, she’s working in TV production in the UK.
She enjoys travelling, attending gigs, and trying out the extreme activities she forces on her characters.

A fun quick story to read. Frank has always wanted to help burn victims because of his childhood and has begun the start of that journey. When he meets Barbara who needs help with a back issue, he falls quickly. This short story has everything passion, heartache, and love.
